I have noticed that if I right click on a wonky pic and choose "view image" it pops up with correct orientation, replacing the current window (but it recovers fully with "backspace"). I'm lazy that way. Thank-you for that wonderfully helpful, insightful & illustrative treatise! This post was edited by northeast_chileman on Sun, Nov 2, 14 at 13:20

flyleft - it defaults to St. Louis on first load, but once you change it to search it should stick with what you picked (unless you load the page up fresh again). I created http://clshelper.com/ ( I recently changed it slightly to help it be more mobile friendly... new domain name from pixel spot light and less bulk ) If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it... I will work quickly to fix / implement any changes you desire. Please send me an email to admin@pixelspotlight.com Here is a link that might be useful: clshelper.com

Sweet, good to know this exists and that people know how to read!!!

Well, of course you have that same photo. You have good taste! LOL Thinking out loud here (or rather thinking through my fingers).... Given the choice between painting the hood the same as the walls or painting it to match your lovely green cabs, I'd paint it to match the walls. Picture this vertical image: black range, stainless backsplash, wood trim, green hood standing out against a wall painted a different color. Or: black range, stainless backsplash, wood trim, painted hood blending into the wall. It think the latter presents a calmer picture overall, especially given the varied pattern of your tile backsplash. As for what color to paint your walls, hmmmm. Are the putty cabs close in color to the grayish tiles in your backsplash? And does that color blend well (in same color family) with the SS treatment behind the range? If so, using a paler version of the putty cabs will give a soothing, pulled together look while pulling in the wall of cabs across from the range. But frankly, Farrow's cream is calling my name (pick me, pick me, pick me). I think it matches the mood of your happy green cabinet color so well and will harmonize nicely with the hood's wood trim and the wood floors. I also like that it picks up the cream tiles, especially since I don't see that color used anywhere else in your plan. Oh, but I forgot to take into account your counters! Danby marble has gray veins, right? That's brings a lot of cool tones to the space as well. Perhaps enough for you? So I think it comes down to this: If green is your primary color for your space, what do you want to use as the secondary color, mushroom or cream? Are you aiming for a soothing, serene space (mushroom) or a cheerful, retro feel (cream)?
